Hi Dovecottage.. Hot baths/showers will help Drink a lot of fluids like gatoraid apple juice and try to eat a little. they sell a product a walmart.. Hylands restful leg for the rls It helped me a lot also Valerian root it is Natural product for anxiety, I know this sounds crazy but force yourself to walk This will help tremendously. gets those feel good endorphins pumping on there own also helps with anxiety rls and all around just makes you feel better. You are on day 3 !! almost over the worst. a lot of peps say day 3 and 4 are the worst.. Congrats on taking back your life !! what a summer it will be not actively addicted and needing drugs just to function.. Proud and Happy for you.. lesa
The physical withdrawals should mostly go away on day four or five depending on how long and the frequency of your usage. Hang in there you are 80 percent through this nightmare. I will be here for you checking every few minutes on u. I'm not doing so good myself but i have made it through the worst part and would never go back again!!!
Stay strong,
